All the Numbers Add Up to New Pharmacy Building
By Amanda Duval
2007—The year the University of Georgia broke ground to begin building the Pharmacy South Building, located off Green Street in South Campus.
93,300—Total square feet of the new pharmacy building, double the size of the old pharmacy school.
45— Number of years since the pharmacy school faculty, staff and students have seen any renovation or technological advance this great.
2—Number of open research labs in the new pharmacy building. Each of the labs has at least 10 student work stations where students learn to make IVs, fill prescriptions and compound medications.
500—Number of pharmacy students currently enjoying and taking advantage of the new building and all of its new technology.
44,000,000—Total cost of the new pharmacy building, $5 million more than planned. The extra money spent was well worth it to many pharmacy students and faculty.
194—Amount of pharmacy students each of the two auditoriums in the new pharmacy building can seat. In the old building, most auditoriums would hold a maximum of 120 students.
1—Number of universities in Georgia that have pharmacy buildings this technologically advanced. UGA’s is the only pharmacy school building in Georgia that has its own pharmacy and its own lab where chemotherapy treatments can be made. It is the only LEDE certified green building on the UGA campus
